2015 Week 13 CFB Open Thread

You'll never believe me; but Bama played a good schedule this year. Look at what happened to the team's after Bama beat them. Saban has a knack for exposing teams on a basic level that allows them to be beaten again. He gives the blueprint.

I think LSU, UGA, and Arkansas were all good wins. Lots of people here said MSU would be Bama.
How do you expose what's already obvious? Everyone in the country knew that if you shut down Fournette, you shut down LSU. Only the Georgia win was somewhat surprising...until you realize Mark Richt is still Georgia's coach. Arkansas lost to goddamn Toledo. That's not a good win no matter how you slice it.

Nobody else figured out how to shut down fournette without stacking the box. Harris was remarkably efficient prior to the Bama game.

Arkansas lost to Toledo because that is what Arkansas does. You never want to play that team late in the season.

The UGA win was the least surprising. They were truly a team with running backs and nothing else.

It is hard to find a SOS ranking that doesn't have Bama in the top 10

Am I the only one still questioning whyexactly is Alabama ranked so high? I'm honestly not impressed watching them play and they never get penalized for any close games against average teams.


Alabama has about as good of a schedule as OSU. We have the better loss to #5 by 3 they lost to #18 by 5 we beat #10 by 29 they beat LSU by what 20? LSU is I ranked now but like around 24 in today's rankings. Take away 2 of Alabamas FCS games they don't look impressive outside of the Georgia game which they one 38-3

I've been questioning what great wins they have all season and it's as if I'm questioning an unbeaten team - including the reaction I get here. The LSU win was thrown at me as proof of absolutely tremendous awesomeness at which point I asked how do we know LSU is all that? Three losses later I'm still waiting for an answer.

If people hear something repeated often enough the message gets through. We joke about the SEC hype yet it's obvious it has an effect, even on some people here.
